Ahmadi Citizen Reportedly Shot Dead: Peshawar

Reports on social media suggest that a member of the Ahmadi community was shot dead in the Bazidkhel area of Peshawar. Abdul Qadir came out to answer his doorbell when he was murdered by an attacker being named as Ehsan Ullah.

Attacks on the Ahmadi community appear to have been escalating across Pakistan in the past few months, with a number of brazen episodes of violence resulting in death having been reported recently.

In an earlier incident from November 2020, Dr Tahir Mahmood came to answer the door, when a teenage boy carrying a pistol opened fire and killed him – while also wounding three of his relatives.
